Constitutional Convention:

Shall there be a convention to revise the Constitution and amend the same? You will vote Yes or No.

Statewide Proposal Number 2, an Amendment:

The proposed Amendment to Section 7 of Article 2 would allow a court to reduce or revoke the public pension of a public officer who is convicted of a felony that has a direct and actual relationship to the performance of the public officer’s existing duties. Shall the proposed amendment be approved? You will vote Yes or No.

Statewide Proposal Number 3, an Amendment:

The proposed amendment will create a land account with up to 250 acres of forest preserve land eligible for use by town, villages and counties that have no viable alternative to using forest preserve land to address specific public health and safety concerns; as a substitute for the land removed from the forest preserve, another 250 acres of land will be added to the forest preserve, subject to legislative approval. The proposed amendment will also allow bicycle trails and certain public utility lanes to be located within the width of specific highways that cross the forest preserve while minimizing removal of trees and vegetation. Shall the proposed amendment be approved? You will vote Yes or No.
